I can’t follow the current discussion very well, but can you explain why the 100 ft pole idea isn’t being pursued, as it seems to involve the least effort of all in my garden.
Although, for a stone lying at a shallow angle, the pole needs to stick very high in the air, it would seem we could achieve this fairly easily:
Raise the pole Horizontally on towers under each end. Build a third “pivot” tower underneath it, just right of centre. Remove the Left tower, and allow the pole to pivot downwards until it rests at right angles against the base of the stone. Attach a rope to complete the triangle. Remove the remaining towers.
This seems to involve little or no stone-raising towers, just pole-raising towers so has got to be worth thinking about.
